[ applause ] add all this up, add all this up and we're talking about more than a million of our fellow hoosiers that need and can be skilled up. let's give them the tools they need to reach their true full potential. think about the value to them, to your communities and to our state. [ applause ] we also need to set our lens wide enough to include future generations. to do that we must ensure that every hoosier student receives an education infused with s.t.e.m. subjects. critical thinking skills and the intellectual curiosity that prepares them for lifelong learning. so when they graduate from high school, they have a ticket to their future success, be it going on to college or entering the workforce to realize a fulfilling career. to get these results, we'll commit to forming partnerships like never before. over the next year, we'll use the newly created e

the medical device tax is one of those issues that leaves most hoosiers scratching their heads. first adopted as part of the affordable care act, the device tax was one of the few issues that republicans and democrats agreed needed to be fixed. and in 2015, with bipartisan support, president obama enacted a two-year suspension of the tax. the argument was really pretty simple. the medical device tax was making it harder for innovative companies to invest in the research and development of new technologies and in the process we were stifling job creation. if there was a question as to whether this was the case, the last two years provided evidence. when we agreed to suspend the tax in 2016 and 2017, manufacturers used that additional money to hire new workers, invest in research and technologies, and continue producing innovative lifesaving products here in the united states. for example, zimmer bio matt headquartered in indiana used the money to invest in new innovation to improve musculoskeletal health across the world. they were able to upgrade their manufacturing equipment an

a cynical hoosier volunteer thought that mcclellan became popular by shamelessly flattering the enlisted men and their officers at every opportunity. but at the other extreme, an articulate and conservative massachusetts recruit claimed that virtually the entire army learned to love mcclellan. and certainly they saw him a lot. the general rode about washington on horseback, at times spending 12 hours in the saddle. nobody could doubt mcclellan's devotion to the task and his hard work. he said he felt compelled to do so because my army covers much space. and unfortunately, i have no one on my staff to whom i can entrust the safety of affairs. again the inability to delegate. , this wore him out. it literally wore mcclellan out at various points and perhaps brought back an old malarial complaint from his days in mexico. but he assumed visibility was a key to leadership and i think he is right. the boss does need to be visible. the boss does need to be seen by the troops. that is a good thing. and even though mcclellan claimed he was not interested in impressing the public or the politician

i would argue the whole spectrum -- what really angers a lot of hoosiers about the fugitive slave lawre not the rights of african-americans, but it is damn kentuckians coming up and interfering in places like south bend where there is a relit -- where there is a resistance to the recovery of fugitives. >> i do not know what much i can add to that except to say that in almostance comes all of the cases, from the black community. that is where it starts. it spins out to the wider community amongst portions of anti-slavery and opponents of the fugitive slave law. if you want to look at the sort of violence and resistance, it is what people consider outsiders coming into their community and they say than -- they see the need to defend it and the people who live there. these are people they know and some people they do not know. the mere fact that somebody from outside could come in and do something like that raises the stakes. issues weok at these have to look at what i call the politics of's tail. the -- the politics of scale. we have to look at what is happening to appreciate the range

i am a hoosier so i am in the center of the crisis there isn't necessarily a question coming to prevention or treatment programs but we need to get out there to see what is working with different programs so we can replicate to make those available elsewhere. we also tend to think withth regulatory authority to drive solutions on this crisis. >> your expertise willl be helpful there are a lot of innovative opportunities improving the quality of life in ways that we cannot even imagine ten years ago. i look for us to find ways to find access for those life-changing opportunities affordable. looking at drug pricing we have to understand the necessity of nonaddictive alternatives and that pipeline and hope there is a plan in place to the nonaddictive remedies as well that have a deterrent. >> that is a core area that we try to drive nonaddictive pain treatment therapies that have gotten us into this mess. >> i join my colleagues to acknowledge and recognize your great service to this committee. we will miss you and we appreciate the opportunity to work together. you kept me on this committee

i am a hoosier so i'm right in the epicenter of the crisis also and i do believe there is not necessarily especially when it comes to prevention and treatment programs there is not a 1-size-fits-all approach and we need to get out there and see what is working, what different programs, not just to support them but replicate and make them available elsewhere at the epicenters in addition to we can do things at the center with regulatory authority, education programs that have to drive solutions on this crisis. >> only 30 seconds left so i will make a statement encompassing my last two points. number one, your expertise in value-based arrangements would be helpful. looking at opportunities in the future, there are a lot of innovative opportunities that will improve the quality of life every day americans and ways we cannot even imagine five years or ten years ago. i would love for us to find ways to make that access to life-changing opportunities affordable. second, as we through drug pricing i also think we have to understand the necessity of nonaddictive alternatives and the pipeline to g

much-needed certainty in administering chip for american children across the country and stability for the hoosier families who depend on the program. furthermore, today's c.r. includes a two-year relief from the medical device tax. america tops the world in medical innovation and relief from this tax will further reinforce this leadership. the previous two-year suspension of this damaging tax has allowed device company, many of which call indiana home, to invest in research and development and invest in high-quality, high-paying jobs in medical innovation, all to the benefit of patients who need them the most. i urge my colleagues to vote yes on this c.r. not only does it provide long-term stability for chip and relief from the medical device tax, but it also provides government funding through february 16 to prevent a shutdown. like the chairman, i hope this will proit time we need to complete -- provide the time we need to complete the fiss cal appropriation -- fiscal appropriation bills. i urge my colleagues to vote yes on the final passage. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: th
